Photometry results were V=14.64 and Ic=11.80 with 0.61-m f/6.5 CDK astrograph + FLI PL09000 CCD camera (iTelescope.NET, T24) at Auberry, California, USA remotely. My image is available at http://meineko.sakura.ne.jp/ccd/TCP_J17394608-2457555.jpg. It might be classical nova rather than dwarf nova as it has red color. Seiichiro Kiyota (Kamagaya, Japan)

The red star (bright in the infrared) 2MASS J17394584-2457504 is located 6" from the reported position of the transient. Further designations for this red star are USNO-B1.0 0650-0519036 (R1= 17.26, B2= 19.52, R2= 18.15, I= 14.06 mag) and GSC2.3 S8E3029093 (F= 17.24 mag). At the transient's position itself nothing is visible in DSS images, and there is no VizieR match. As can be seen in the reported images, the transient is located in a dark (i.e. dust-rich) region of the Milky Way and may be considerably reddened. --- Patrick Schmeer (Saarbrücken-Bischmisheim, Germany)
